"Irresistible," admitted a woman from the Tory Daily Sketch. Last week, between sending a Russian perfume called "Night" to Ballerina Margot Fonteyn and paying a visit to Karl Marx's grave in London's Highgate Cemetery, the adroit advance man for Khrushchev and Bulganin smiled unrlaggingly through a huge farewell press conference at the Russian embassy...
